Best 5 Apple And Dried Cherry Lattice Pie Recipes

APPLE-CHERRY LATTICE PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor to combine. Add one-quarter of the butter; process until it disappears into the flour, about 30 seconds. Add the remaining butter and pulse until the mixture looks like cornmeal with bean-size bits of butter. Combine the water and vodka and drizzle over the flour mixture. Pulse until the dough just starts coming together but stop before it gathers into a ball. Divide evenly between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and gently pat each into a disk, using the plastic wrap to help you. (If the dough seems dry with large bits of butter, turn it out onto a work surface and use the heel of your hand to press the dough together.) Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
• Make the filling: Peel and thinly slice the apples; toss in a bowl with the lemon juice. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the apples and cook, tossing occasionally, until juicy, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; fold in the cherries, flour, extract and allspice. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Roll out 1 disk of dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate; refrigerate until ready to fill. Place a piece of parchment paper on an inverted baking sheet. Roll out the remaining disk of dough into a 12-inch round, transfer to the parchment and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer the dough (on the parchment) to a work surface. Using a fluted pastry wheel or a chef's knife, cut the dough into 14 to 16 half-inch-wide strips. Weave into a lattice on the parchment. Slide back onto the baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Pour the filling into the crust. Gently slide the lattice off the parchment and onto the fruit, adjusting as needed; trim the excess dough if needed, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Fold the overhanging dough under itself. Brush the lattice with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Refrigerate the pie 30 minutes.
• Position a rack in the lowest position of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Place the pie on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake until the crust is deep golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer to a rack and let cool at least 2 hours.

APPLE AND DRIED-CHERRY LATTICE PIE

Steps:

• For crust:
• Blend both flours, sugar, and salt in processor until just combined. Add butter and shortening. Using on/off turns, process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add milk. Using on/off turns, process until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball; divide into 2 pieces, 1 slightly larger than the other. Flatten larger piece into disk and smaller piece into rectangle. Wrap each in plastic; chill 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.)
• For filling:
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Place apples on large rimmed baking sheet; toss with 3 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, and lemon juice. Roast until apples are tender, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes. Transfer to large bowl. Stir in cherries, brown sugar, and vanilla. Cool completely.
• Butter 9-inch glass pie dish. Roll out dough disk on floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to pie dish; trim overhang to 1/2 inch. Spoon filling into crust.
• Roll out dough rectangle on floured surface to 11x6-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise into 8 strips. Arrange 4 strips across pie, spacing evenly. Place remaining 4 strips across first 4 strips, forming lattice pattern. Fold dough overhang over ends of strips; crimp edge. Brush strips and edge with 1 tablespoon butter.
• Bake until pie is golden and filling is bubbling, covering edge with foil if browning too quickly, about 40 minutes. Cool 45 minutes. Dust pie with powdered sugar.

APPLE AND DRIED FRUIT LATTICE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Roll out 1 piece of dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate; chill until ready to use.
• Make the filling: Peel and chop the apples. Pulse the apples, raisins, and dried plums, figs and cherries in a food processor until chunky. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with the sugar, tapioca, orange liqueur, lemon zest, cinnamon, salt and allspice. Spoon into the crust and dot with the butter.
• Roll out the second piece of dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips with a knife. Arrange half of the strips in parallel rows over the filling, about 1/2 inch apart. Working with 1 strip at a time, arrange the remaining strips perpendicular to the first ones, weaving the strips over and under, to form a lattice. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edge with your fingers. Brush the lattice crust with the beaten egg.
• Put the pie on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to the oven; bake until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly, about 1 hour. (Cover the edge with foil if it is browning too quickly.) Transfer to a rack and let cool until set, about 3 hours.

APPLE AND DRIED-CHERRY LATTICE PIE

Steps:

• Make filling:
• Peel, halve, and core apples and cut into 1/4-inch slices. In a large bowl toss apples with granulated sugar, dried cherries, dried cranberries, or raisins, lemon juice, cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons flour. In a small bowl mix together with fingertips brown sugar, butter, and remaining 2 tablespoons flour.
• Make pastry dough:
• In a large bowl stir together flour and salt. With a pastry blender or fingertips blend in shortening, blending until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing to incorporate until mixture forms a dough. On a work surface smear dough in several forward motions with heel of hand to develop the gluten in flour and make dough easier to work with. Scrape dough together to form a ball and halve, flattening halves to 1-inch-thick disks. Wrap 1 disk in plastic wrap and reserve. Roll other disk into an 11-inch round and fit into a 9-inch pie plate (1-quart capacity), leaving 3/4-inch overhang. Spoon apple mixture into pastry and top with brown sugar mixture. Cover filling loosely with plastic wrap.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Halve reserved dough. On a lightly floured surface roll 1 half into a very thin 11-inch round and with a fluted pastry wheel cut round into 1 3/4-inch-wide strips. Repeat procedure with remaining dough.
• Weave dough strips in a closed lattice pattern over pie and trim lattice edges flush with rim of pie plate. Roll overhanging dough from bottom pastry up over edge of lattice top and crimp decoratively. Brush lattice top with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
• Put sheet of foil on lower rack of oven. Bake pie in middle of oven 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until top is golden and filling is bubbling. Cool pie on rack and serve warm or at room temperature.
